Russia's capital was reportedly targeted by nearly 400 drones overnight in one of the latest large-scale attacks linked to the war in Ukraine. The strike on Moscow came as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was in Washington, where he was trying to shape Donald Trump's position on the conflict.
The timing highlights how the war is unfolding on two fronts at once: continued long-range attacks and high-stakes political outreach. Drone strikes on Russian territory have become increasingly common, just as Russian drones and missiles continue to hit targets across Ukraine.
A report of almost 400 drones aimed at Moscow suggests another sharp escalation in the use of unmanned systems far from the front lines. Even with only limited details available, the scale alone points to the growing importance of drone warfare in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Zelensky's Washington visit adds a major diplomatic dimension to the moment. While attacks continued overnight, the Ukrainian leader was also seeking to influence debate in the United States, underscoring how military pressure and international politics remain tightly connected in the war.
